King Sized Postage Stamp



This king sized quilt lives with my friends in Colorado Springs.  We met this couple when we were stationed in Europe and have been friends ever since.  They have been the sponsors for our two boys attending the Air Force Academy and have provided us a place to stay for parents' weekends and acceptance day visits, rides to the airport and laundry services and a place to hang out for the boys when they could get permission to leave the Academy, to name a small portion of the kind things they have done for our family.  I made this quilt for them.  I got the idea from a quilt at a wedding reception that was made from strips of fabric.  I thought I could do the same effect with 
1 1/2 inch squares.  The lines are off set and built up like a reverse log cabin.  I used up a lot of scraps for this one.  L.
